VonS, ripping stories Sir! You really should join us in the DID Campaign. Only saw this post now...thank you for the kind words MFair. I promise to send an official application to the wind and flight gods over on the DiD Thread as soon as I wrap up with the two casual campaigns I have going now - would be a shame to cut short the ongoing adventures. WOFF sure is a yarn-friendly sim - I'm having as much fun writing the reports as I am flying. Von S

~ For my various FM/AI/FPS/DM Mods. for First Eagles 2, WoFF, RoF & WoTR, and tips for FlightGear, recommended is to check over my CombatAce profile ( https://combatace.com/profile/86760-vons/) and to click on the "About Me" tab while there. ~

Another brave pilot pays the ultimate price. RIP Yes indeed, OBD gives real simulation in spades - still can't decide what was scarier, the wing falling off on the Eindecker, or the scramble mission for the new pilot when the 'drome was jumped by three Nieups. Might squeeze out a few more missions with the alter ego pilot - before going back to the RFC adventures. (Note to self, use RJW's pilot backup utility in the future to avoid death by lucky flak. ) Von S

Thank you for the comments and feedback gents'. Yes indeed, all sorts of random risks. @Pol, I think that story is located somewhere late in Cecil Lewis' Sagittarius Rising...can't remember the exact details now, late in the war, with the fellow who rolled over his Camel on landing, then checked the Vickers from the wrong end while his riggers and fitters were fiddling with the cockpit, and one of the Vickers went off. All of this random weirdness is wonderfully modelled in WOFF. Well done OBD. (Latest mission now flown...willl post details soon.) Von S

That's the one VonS. He also talked about one poor sod who did aerobatics over the airfield until his wings broke off.. Yes, that was the "ham-fisted new fellow" who did a couple of dives in the Se5 and tore the wings off, crashed and exploded, after behaving himself well during formation flying. Take note fellow WOFFers - it's possible to pull the wings off of the Scout Experimental too. The problem isn't so much the speed of the dive, but the lack of a smooth exit from dives. Other good reads for those looking over the casual campaigns thread.... Open Cockpit by Arthur Gould Lee (I'm currently reading that one). Also fondly remembered is Eastern Nights and Flights by Alan Bott (for those who like the exotic theaters such as the middle eastern front in WWI). Von S

I love how you write and the Pictures are superb! Keep going...

Thank you for that excellent link Seb, a great find! - have bookmarked it now. Glad you're enjoying the reports in the casual campaigns thread - will find some time to fly new missions soon, then perhaps four or five missions for the RFC, for variety. Von S

. More wonderful write-ups and stories VonS, most enjoyable. And some stellar screenshots as well. Also, that farmhouse in the picture above, I swear I've force landed next to it myself on more than one occasion. .

Also, that farmhouse in the picture above, I swear I've force landed next to it myself on more than one occasion. Much appreciated Lou - I'm glad everyone's enjoying the reports. WOFF is excellent for immersion. Yes, that farmhouse is not too far from Passchendaele and close to one of the main roads. A convenient place to land in case of engine trouble - also easy to locate because of the Drachen balloon that's there. Von S
